Product Description

Product Description

'Beautiful, simple, evocative'

'Groundbreaking fiction'

The Red Season is the first episode of the four-part novel My Memories of a Future Life. Each episode is novella length (one-quarter of the full novel, which is 360 pages) and was released on Kindle throughout September 2011.
Episode 2 was published on September 5, Episode 3 on September 12, and the final episode on September 19th 2011.



If you were somebody’s past life…

What echoes would you leave in their soul?
Could they be the answers you need now?

It’s a question Carol never expected to face. She’s a gifted musician who needs nothing more than her piano and certainly doesn’t believe she’s lived before. But forced by injury to stop playing, she fears her life may be over. Enter her soulmate Andreq: healer, liar, fraud and loyal friend. Is he her future incarnation or a psychological figment? And can his story help her discover how to live now?

A novel in the vein of The Time Traveller’s Wife, Vertigo and The Gargoyle, My Memories of a Future Life is much more than a 'who was I' tale. It’s a provocative study of the shadows we don’t know are driving our lives, from our own pasts and from the people with us right now. An examination of what we believe, what we create and how we scare and heal each other.

Above all, it’s the story of how one lost soul searches for where she now belongs.


'I was always fascinated by tales of regression to past lives,' says the author Roz Morris. ‘I thought, what if instead of going to the past, someone went to a future life? Who would do that? Why? What would they find?

‘I began to delve into the world of the classical musician. Musical scores are exacting and dictatorial - you play a note for perhaps a sixth of a second and not only that, there are instructions for how to feel - expressivo, amoroso.

'It's as if you don't play a piece of classical music; you channel the spirit of the composer. And I thought, what if she couldn’t do it any more? And then, what if I threw her together with someone who could trap the part of her that responded so completely to music?’


This is episode 1 of four. Episode 2 was published on 5 September 2011.

Roz Morris is a writer, journalist, fiction editor and the author of Nail Your Novel: Why Writers Abandon Books and How You Can Draft, Fix and Finish With Confidence. She has a secret identity as a ghostwriter and is the author of several bestsellers under other names.

5.0 out of 5 stars I felt her pain 15 Sep 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
I was hooked from start to finish and wanted more.
Carol intrigued me. Was her pain real or imagined? No matter which, the desccription of her pain was precise. As I have rheumathoid arthritis which affects mostly my hands and elbow, I flinched at every painful movement she made. The idea that her pain could be cured through hypnosis and regression therapy sounded intriguing, yet dangerous. Every turn of the page made me curious, and fascinated me. And finally, who is Gene? A character that seems so full of secrets.

So I HAD to read part 2.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprising, effortless, addictive storytelling 2 Sep 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
In the interest of full disclosure like a few of the reviewers before me, I know Roz and was prompted by her to read the first part of her interesting part-work novel experiment. As she has been so supportive of my work I was happy to return the respect by giving it a read. Now I knew Roz is a good writer, and has decades of experience, wrote a book about writing and seems to know what she's talking about. What I wasn't prepared for is how good a writer she truly is.

From the start the effortless evocation of mood, deft illustration of the main character (and amusing asides on the accidentally comical nature of yoga and those who practice it) win you over and you're hooked. The heroine is immediately someone you want to know more about, even before the mystery kicks in. Reviewer Andrew R is bang on, the feel of this book is cinematic, and as a movie guy I felt myself at times compelled to pause and imagine how I would shoot a scene because the imagery is so vivid. As a musician, hypnotist, former sufferer of RSI, science fiction fan and writer of stories which ask questions about layers of reality within and beneath the surface we take for granted, this book hits me where I live on almost every level.

I'm very much looking forward to the other 3 parts, and I will certainly be posting reviews for those too. Oh and just so you know I'm not the kind of person who reviews stuff by their friends just to pump their myth. This review is a genuine celebration of a story worth celebrating. Even if you assume, as I did, that this is not your thing, read it. It's compelling, well told, and hugely entertaining. I am fascinated to discover where she is going with it and will be waiting for the next episode with considerable anticipation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully written, evocative and absorbing 24 Sep 2011
By smudge
Format:Kindle Edition
Beautifully written, evocative and absorbing: it's a five star experience! It reminds me a little of The Time Traveller's wife; like that book the imagery is strong and it too has layers of story within a story. The characters are believable and appealing and it succeeds in being both imaginative and accurate at the same time. I agree with a previous review about the persuasiveness of the London descriptions - even down to the feel of travelling on the DLR (with its toy town trains). I have just finished part 1 and am very much looking forward to part 2 ......and 3 ......and 4 .....
